When the officer got to the car, he saw several empty liquor bottles as well as an open beer bottle. He also recognized Reyes from past arrests.

Franco was wearing a shirt exposing her stomach and the top of her pants. The officer could see what appeared to be a plastic bag sticking up from the top of her pants containing a white powder, Jackson said.

"The officer pulled it out and there were two glassine bags of a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine," the prosecutor said.

The officer also found a digital scale, and when they searched Reyes, he had another plastic bag of cocaine in his sock, Jackson said.

Police charged Franco, of 11 Edmands Road, and Reyes, of 91 Beaver Terrace Circle, with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and being a person younger than 21 possessing liquor.

Franco was also cited for having defective equipment.

Jackson asked Judge Douglas Stoddart to revoke Reyes’ bail on three open cases, including disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The probation department also asked the judge to hold Reyes without bail for violating the terms of his probation on two disorderly conduct cases.

Jackson also asked for $2,500 bail on the new case.

The prosecutor also asked Stoddart to revoke Franco’s bail on an open Milford District Court case for disturbing the peace and intimidation of a witness. Jackson also asked the judge to hold Franco on $1,000 bail.

Reyes’ lawyer, Donna Paruti, argued the charges against her client are excessive.

"The drugs were for personal use," said Paruti. "He said he has a drug problem and is looking for help."

Franco’s lawyer, Sheila Dwyer, said her client should be released.

"The co-defendant took full-responsibility for the drugs," she said.

Stoddart ordered Reyes held without bail, revoking the bail on the open cases and holding him for a probation violation hearing. Stoddart set Franco’s bail at $275.
